Despite its title, ‘The Boxer’ is ultimately less about pugilism than
about the combative footwork of politics in North Ireland.
The title character, 32-year-old Danny Flynn (Daniel Day-Lewis), is
newly released after having spent 14 years in jail for his part in RA
violence. Danny has long since turned his back on the cause, but his
refusal to name names to the police means that he is grudgingly
tolerated by his former compatriots. Danny almost immediately gets in
new trouble, however. He supports his old trainer Ike (Ken Stott) in a
plan to establish a non-sectarian gymnasium in the heart of Catholic
Belfast and he wants to woo back his old sweetheart Maggie (Emily
Watson). Maggie is not only the daughter of a high-ranking IRA official
(Brian Cox), but she’s also ...

"From Dusk Till Dawn" won’t be everyone’s cup of bullets and blood, but
it is a near-perfect specimen of its rare type, an amalgamation of
"Reservoir Dogs," "Desperado" and the "Evil Dead" films that switches
genres on a dime. It is quick of wit and quicker of pace, bracingly
profane, often hilarious and gross at the same time, gaudily violent,
in-your-face and generally a hell of a lot of fun for those who enjoy
this sort of thing. Those who don’t enjoy this sort of thing should
probably avoid the artwork on the box, let alone the film itself.

Although the cast and the (literally) smashing ILM special effects are
up to date, at heart ‘Daylight’ is very much a ‘70s disaster flick,
right down to the irrelevant pop ballad over the closing credits (in
this case, "Wherever There Is Love" sung by Donna Summer).
